Chapter 381 I have never loved you, do you understand?

Du Ziheng was speechless.

"Take her away and keep her under strict guard." Yu Zhiyi's pretty face was indifferent as she withdrew her gaze: "Remember, no one is allowed to approach the prisoner except for this official and the person responsible for delivering the food."

Tang Mingxuan respectfully replied, "Yes!"

The other guards naturally did not object either.

Du Ziheng was both anxious and angry.

Yu Zhiyi just found it quite ridiculous.

This person said he came for her sake and even wanted her to reconcile with him.

As a result, he pleaded for her former "love rival" in front of her.

Moreover, that person was convicted of attempting to harm her.

Although she didn't care about Du Ziheng and never had any intention of remarrying him.

She had never loved this person.

But from the perspective of an ordinary woman, she still really wanted to spit.

tui.

Scumbag.

Suddenly, her expression changed.

There was actually a fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from You Bingyue!

She instinctively shielded Jiang Liuyi behind her, gathering spiritual energy in her palms.

Just as she was ready to attack, You Bingyue suddenly disappeared!

On the ground where she had been standing, a rapidly burning talisman had appeared.

Du Ziheng was shocked: "Bingyue!"

He suddenly looked at Yu Zhiyi: "What did you do to her?"

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of regret.

Only now has he realized that the person he has always loved is You Bingyue.

He felt guilty, reluctant to part with Yu Zhiyi, and also admired her.

Perhaps there is love.

However, this love is far less than his feelings for You Bingyue.

"I never imagined you could be so heartless. She's already like this, and you still can't forgive her?"

“I had already decided to give up on her, and she has been doing her best to bring us together. What more do you want?”

Yu Zhiyi felt a little nauseous.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

She always felt that although this person had some flaws in his relationships, at least he was still quite intelligent.

Now, however, I have to doubt my judgment of people.

"Du Ziheng, is it because I didn't explain things clearly enough before that you keep coming to me in the name of love to disgust me?"

"If I haven't made myself clear, then I'll tell you plainly now: I've never had any feelings for you!"

"My marriage to you was only to obey my parents' wishes; it had nothing to do with you as a person."

"Whether you are Du Ziheng, Zhang Ziheng, or Li Ziheng, it doesn't affect my decision to marry you."

"As for You Bingyue's interference in our marriage, if she hadn't repeatedly come to me to make her presence known, I would not only not mind, but I would also thank her for taking away this troublesome person like you."

"I, Yu Zhiyi, only want to cultivate diligently and strive to ascend to immortality as soon as possible. I do not wish to be bound by worldly love."

"I don't care about you at all. I won't be jealous of You Bingyue because of you, and I certainly won't hurt her because of you."

"There's only one reason I ever take action against her: she's offended me. Do you understand?"

"Oh, of course, if she commits a crime, as an official of the Ministry of Justice, I will not stand idly by."

"Have I made myself clear enough this time?"

The color drained from Du Ziheng's face instantly.

He swayed, then suddenly his head lolled to the side and he fainted.

Yu Zhiyi: "?"

no.

Why are they even involved in staged accidents?

What Yu Zhiyi didn't know was that after she said those words, Du Ziheng's mind suddenly felt like it had been ripped open.

Countless familiar yet unfamiliar memories rushed in, causing him to faint from the pain.

Because she wasn't staring at Du Ziheng anymore, she didn't notice that his appearance had changed.

After dealing with the farce, she returned to her own courtyard.

Jiang Yuchuan followed, looking at her expectantly: "Jin'er, can't you stay a little longer?"

Yu Zhiyi said helplessly, "His Majesty only gave me a month's leave. If I can't get to the capital in three days, I'm afraid I'll be guilty of deceiving the emperor."

Although the emperor couldn't possibly imprison her or even kill her over such a trivial matter, it did give him a pretext to make a fuss.

What if the Empress Dowager uses this as leverage to try and cure Prince Xiaoyao? Wouldn't she be creating trouble for herself for no reason?

She wasn't without ways to cure the carefree prince.

But why should she heal her when that guy attacked her without even knowing the facts just to help his sweetheart?

If it weren't for her own skills, she would be the one lying paralyzed in bed right now.

If that were to actually happen, that carefree prince would certainly not try to help her heal; he would only wish for her to die sooner so he could dance at her grave.

Xiao Qingxuan glared at Jiang Yuchuan with annoyance: "Your own career is your career, but your daughter's career isn't important? You're just the second master of the martial arts alliance, not even a proper position. Jin'er, on the other hand, is a proper court official. Her official duties are much more important than yours."

Jiang Yuchuan touched his nose: "I just can't bear to part with Jin'er, and I can't bear to part with you either."

Jiang Liuyun, who had just stepped into the room, thought: "...So I'm not important to you?"

Jiang Yuchuan glared at him irritably: "I've been annoyed with you for over ten years. I wish you would get lost and stop hanging around in front of me all the time."

"Besides, can you even compare to your sister?"

One is a gentle, intelligent, and understanding eldest daughter; the other is a rash and impulsive boy who is always chasing cats and dogs, causing trouble and making mistakes.

Are they comparable?

Jiang Liuyi laughed.

Yu Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jiang Liuyun looked hurt: "Sister, you actually made fun of me!"

Yu Zhiyi coughed lightly.

Xiao Qingxuan couldn't help but chuckle.

After she had finished laughing, she stepped forward to take charge: "If you two really want to reunite with us, you should finish up what you have to do as soon as possible. Jin'er definitely can't leave here, so you need to think it through. If you really want to stay with us, you'll have to completely give up on the Martial Alliance."

Yu Zhiyi slowly suppressed her smile: "Actually, there's no need for that."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she said, "I plan to ask for leave again in a while, or I may resign directly."

Jiang Liuyi frowned: "Are you worried about being retaliated against by Prime Minister Du?"

Yu Zhiyi shook her head: "Prime Minister Du is not a narrow-minded person, and besides, I didn't do anything to Du Ziheng."

She said, "I've seen too many evil cultivators lately and learned about some things in the hidden realm. I'm planning to go to my sect."

The main purpose was to investigate the Gao family's background and see if they had a way to resolve this grudge.

If it really can't be resolved...

She silently suppressed the murderous intent that was rising in her heart.

"Second Master, there is a man outside who claims to be the young master of Juxian Manor and wants to see the Second Miss."

Jiang Yuchuan's face immediately darkened: "I won't see you!"

He has absolutely no goodwill towards Juxianzhuang now.

Although he rationally understood that what Ji Guangdai did might have nothing to do with Young Master Ji, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Yu Zhiyi reached out and did some calculations: "We should still meet him. This young master Ji and his father are not on the same side."

Hearing her say that, Jiang Yuchuan finally relented: "Okay, then let's meet."

Young Master Ji is a bit younger than Jiang Liuyun, but his eyes are full of a depth far beyond that of his peers.

The thin boy sat in a tall wheelchair, which almost completely enveloped half of his body.

He opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a string of coughs escaped his lips.

After finally stopping his cough, he apologized to everyone, saying, "I'm sorry, my body is really letting me down."

No one would blame him for his poor health, after all, the boy's current state was all thanks to his own father.

Such a pitiful person, unloved by his father and mother, and whose own father even treats him as a vessel for misfortune, would move even the most hard-hearted person.

Jiang Yuchuan was not a heartless person after all.

Seeing the boy, who was not much younger than his own youngest son, living such a miserable life, he couldn't bring himself to say something like "like father, like son."

However, although he no longer objected to the boy having contact with his daughter, he disagreed with letting the boy and daughter have contact alone.

"Young Master Ji, what exactly do you want?"

Young Master Ji coughed again.

Looking up, I saw that all the members of the second branch of the Jiang family were gathered in the house.

Five pairs of eyes were staring at him intently.

he:"……"

Realizing that these people were not going to leave, he suppressed his helplessness and, sitting in his wheelchair, laboriously bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Yu."

Those five words caused the Jiang family members to all frown.
